You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“When we were going through the loss of our mother and planning her funeral we worked with many different institutions. Bradley Funeral Home was the BEST entity by far. Erica was patient, sensitive, and an expert communicator. She came through with every promise ahead of deadlines and was an absolute pleasure to work with. It would be hard to over-state how helpful and comforting this was.”
— Patty Weisse
“Outstanding and reputable funeral home. General Manager, Chris Lisewski, and his staff performed respectful and professional services for my husband's funeral. Chris not only arranged for the cremation and interment of his cremains, he very efficiently assisted and coordinated an off-site Celebration of Life service. From before my husband passed away in hospice care to the final service, Chris was caring and supportive. No detail forgotten, every "t" crossed and every "i" dotted, during a stressful time for us. Well done, William Bradley & Son Funeral Home.”

“My 104 year old Mother passed away and I had her service done at the Bradley Funeral Home in Chatham, NJ. I worked with Patrick and, from the very first meeting, he was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and professional. He made the whole process, from initial planning, to the Celebration of life service and the graveside service, smooth and as stress free as possible. He handled all the details thoroughly and quickly. I was very impressed with his empathy and speed of resolution of any issues that arose. He responded immediately to any of my texts and phone calls. I highly recommend Patrick and the entire staff at the Bradley Funeral Home in Chatham, NJ. They made a difficult time remarkably easy. The services were lovely.”
